Qualitative screening detected only the presence of diltiazem, an antihypertensive, antianginal agent that was prescribed for a known heart ailment. Quantitation of diltiazem was carried out on available fluids and tissues with the following results: blood 6.7 mg/L, urine 5.4 mg/L, vitreous 5.5 mg/L, and liver 79 mg/kg. Death was subsequently attributed to an overdose of this medication.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
